I'll continue this. I like Kingdom Hearts and Slender too much. ^_^
I don't own Kingdom Hearts or Slender.
The trees were growing closer together as Riku ventured farther into the woods, completely lost. The strange tree he had left behind was lost in the darkness, the black night stretched out before him.
"Where's the damn exit to this place?"
No answer, of course. All he had been doing the last couple of minutes had been walking. He sighed heavily, squinting in the dark. Wait…was that a clearing…and…a truck! And a shed! He ran towards, glad to see he was hallucinating. There was a truck, its driver door slightly ajar. The faded red was peeling, and the trunk of it was of wood. Riku circled it, a grin coming onto his face. When he got close enough to really see it, though, it was obvious that he wasn't going to be able to use it in any way possible.
The truck was tilted, its' front left tire completely gone. Groaning in frustration, he walked around it to check out the shed.
It was quite small, with, what looked like, a nice paint job. Graffiti was on it randomly as observed it from all sides. There were filthy windows on the sides, making it impossible to see into it. The only way in was by a single door, which was locked. His shoulder slumped in the slightest, and he continued walking onward, following the dirt path. He glanced back one last time, wondering why there were such random objects in this godforsaken forest.
That's when he saw the little note, taped sideways to the back of the shed. His eyebrows went down, and he walked back to inspect it. The forest seemed to hold its' breath as he looked at it…then proceeded to rip it off the shed, glaring down at the paper.
"'Help me'….?"
Her feet had a sudden mind of its' own, bringing her towards the table. The paper was upside down, hiding itself from her. For some reason, her hand began to shake as she reached down and flipped it over.
Her heart jumped into her throat as she stared down at it.
There, on the whiteness of the paper, was one of her old drawings. It had been that of a tall man in an old suit. She recognized it as her old imaginary friend, the one she had called, 'Tall-y'. But…wasn't this picture at her house, hidden in the back of her dresser? How had it gotten here?
Folding it up, she added it with the other one she had found when she had first gotten here, shoving it into her jacket pocket. This is beginning to get really weird, she thought.
Picking up her pace again, she wandered around some more, those eyes still watching, still following. What was going on?
"Hello? Is there anyone in here?" she squeaked out.
Peeking into another room, she was surprised to find a lovely bathroom with an antique bathtub and sink. The toilet was on the opposite side of the bathroom, the old wallpaper faded. Walking through it into the next hallway, she ran a hand through her hair, feeling at odds with all this.
"What the hell am I doing, collecting pages? I should be finding a way out of here."
She turned and started down the left side of the hallway, ignoring the many doorways and rooms she passed by. That's when she came to something she didn't expect to find on the second story.
"What the…"
It was as if she had stepped into a different house, a new hall. The walls were bare, devoid of wallpaper or paint. She could see there was an empty shelf and grey cabinet farther down the hallway, and she quickened her footsteps to get to it.
It was a room of sorts, with a singular light bulb hanging overhead and some sort of heater in the corner…along with-
"Another one?" she questioned, frowning as she went over and snatched it up.
It was of another drawing of 'Tall-y', along with her in it, holding his hand and grinning up at him. She smiled slightly at the crappy style of art, reminiscing. She could easily recall her younger self drawing this outside in the woods with 'Tall-y', scribbling with her crayons onto the paper. She had been so proud of her drawing, and had shown it to her friend after she had finished it. Oh, sweet memories…
The brunette had been wandering around the thousands of halls, daring himself to check some rooms, avoiding others that gave him shivers. The fog gave the place a creepy image, and the darkness didn't help, either. All he had found was chalkboards with unintelligible handwriting, desks that were completely empty of anything, banged up lockers and windows without any glass. Where was the exit?
He shivered as the fog swirled, moving towards him in a way that made it seem like arms were reaching, trying to take him. He moved onward, avoiding looking at the surrounding fog.
"Where's the exit? There's gotta be some way out of here."
He went down one hall, up another that made it seem like it was endless. He went by more rooms, passed by lockers and desks and some disturbing graffiti (that looked, strangely, like blood), like that of a red circle that was crossed out with an X. Sora didn't want to know what that certain symbol meant.
Turning a corner, Sora blinked in shock when he saw a scene he never thought he would come across in his life. An odd sword was mounted on the wall, sticking outward…a ragged, brown teddy bear impaled through, stuffing sticking out of its' stomach.
Kairi stared with wide eyes full of terror at the words upon the paper, her mouth dry. She didn't scream, she said nothing. Taking a brave step forward, she ripped the page from the wall and, with no hesitation, tore it to shreds. Letting the pieces fall to the ground, she took a deep breath.
"I won't play your little games…whoever you are."
A shrill screech suddenly erupted throughout the building, startling her. Stumbling slightly, she ran from the room, backtracking a couple steps before taking a new turn down into another hall. The sound turned up a notch. She slapped her hands over her ears and tried to drown it out, running to the first doorway she saw…and nearly tripped when she caught sight of another note, with only one line written on it.
Or stalk you until you just give up
Her heart skipped a dreadful beat, and she walked towards the wall, reaching out and pulling it down. Rereading it one more time, she glanced behind her as she slipped the crumbled paper into her back pocket. Immediately, the noise was cut off, the place becoming dead silent. A little, maddening grin came onto Kairi's face as she strolled out of the room.
"So…you want me to play the game, huh? Alright, I'll play." She closed her eyes, her grin widening to the point of, what looked like, utter madness. "I'll play."
Bad? Yes? No? Eh, whatever.
